I would hope they never gobbled it up. Unfortunately marketing people will never stop. :(

Im not sure, I am already forgetting, but I think its some crap a lot of people gobbled up in Halo's absence, the king was gone far too long.

Maybe now is the time to decide what the next title for the OT will be since after tomorrow, it'll be all about Halo 4.

I'd like something that shows Halo 4 is coming or something like that. I'm not good with names :p

The ironic part is, by pointing that out he's illustrating the point. Bungie tried Invasion with Halo 3, realized they couldn't support it, and scrapped it. They did the same thing in Reach but didn't abort, and the results speak for themselves.

Invasion has been attempted in every game since Halo 2. Here is the Sandtrap postmortem which talks about the extra parts of it that were intended for it. Invasion is one of the gametypes in the Halo 2 Beta that's floating around (along with Headhunter) but you can't actually start it. Zanzibar was the main Invasion map there, E3 2004's Spartans vs Elites gameplay was an early prototype of Invasion. I'm still looking for where the discussion on Zanzibar Invasion went on Bungie's site.

I think it speaks volumes that Bungie were attempting it in two AAA games, Halo 2 and 3, and eventually didn't include it. It's redolent of a highly successful pop artist who 'always wanted to do a rock/rap album'. When they become successful enough to have the leverage with the record company to finally record the album, the results are always terrible.

Bungie knew Reach was to be their last Halo game. It was their last chance to put Invasion on the stage. But at what cost?

While the remotest possibility of Invasion remains on the table for Halo 4? Nah man.

*sigh*

I don't agree with Fyrewulff. BUT, they tried to include it each time because they obviously believed in it and believed they could get it right eventually. Much of Halo 2-Reach is ideas that they wanted to do in the previous game but couldn't and eventually cut.

Also, your musician analogy is a fallacy, fyi.

Was the Santrap postmortem the only one we got about a map? Would love to read more.

Yea that was pretty interesting. I seem to recall a similar article on Guardian and The Pit as well.

Thanks, Fyre. I'll read these again. Too bad we never got one about Valhalla or Avalanche, etc.

Some context for those who don't know. This'll be the first Halo OT in a while where we'll have some news to discuss about Halo 4. "Howling dark" is from Lord Hood's speech at the end of Halo 3. Halo 4 starts where Halo 3 left off.

Halo – Tribute.

Question guys, with Megalo is it possible to write gametypes that end themselves when it becomes mathematically impossible to win like in oddball and king?

And would it also be possible to write one that ends games with MLG's flag rules at tournaments? If you dont know what that is, in MLG's flag gametypes they run 30 minutes but if the game isnt tied or a team losing by only 1 point gets the enemy flag out of their base, the game ends at the 15 minute mark.

Depending on the available variables they can. The only gametype that prevents lame duck rounds from happening in matchmaking is Grifball, which will end once a team gets 3 wins instead of having to play all 5 rounds. I have no idea why it's not in every other gametype that could use it, especially 1 Flag.
